Falling forward or Running down.

by @bryce-grunow

I try. You try. We all take a chance. He got a girl, and she is going to the dance. I tried, You tried. To get an advance. She got the job, and He got the chance. I will try. She tried. He tries. You try. She got a job. He got the girl. You get the chance. I failed. But I fell forward, I stood up. You ran down, and couldn't stand. Do you understand? It's as much as a will, and more than a way, I will live ALL and EVERY day. I fell forward, amd I ran down, But I learned that together, I kept my feet on the ground.
